It was just easier/closer for me since I was already running the pos+ from the battery.

That bolts pretty close to the manifold.

Will work good, Sand it down a little as always. And make sure the wire wont get hot.

Where the alternator bracket bolts to the engine block... NOT where the alternator bolts onto the alternator bracket!

Wire it intertwined through your rims, and wrap directly around your engine block then ground it to your chassis. For more risk of moving parts and heat, mount it to your alternator bracket!

Not a good idea. You need to be extremely careful of heat (or wrap the wire in a heat resistant cover perhaps...) and moving parts anywhere nearby. Be wary of alternators, belts, exhaust, transmission, and the like. Your best bet is to keep looking. Nothing in those two pictures looks spectacular... I can take a look at a friend of mine's 01 mustang and give you some ideas perhaps.
